"Cards trade No. 6 pick
By Kent Somers

April 26, 2003
The Cardinals were involved in the first major deal on the initial day of the draft, giving up the sixth overall pick to New Orleans Saturday in exchange for the 17th and 18th selections in the first round.
In addition, the team¹s swapped picks in the second round, with New Orleans moving up to 37th and the Cardinals moving down to 54th. The Cardinals also gave up their fourth-round pick, the 102nd overall, to the Saints.
It was a bold move by the Cardinals. They are desperate need of a pass rush, yet passed on selecting Arizona State defensive end Terrell Suggs, the top-rated pass rusher in the draft.
The Cardinals, last in the NFL in sacks the past two seasons, likely think they can obtain a pass rusher with either the 17th or 18th selections."
We have NO potential right now. Suggs or Leftwich would have given me at least a glimmer of a light at the end of the tunnel. Now, it's like we're on the darkside of the moon. God, I hate the Cardinals right now. You try, and try and try to follow a team and support a team, but all they do is make move after move to shoot itself in the foot. What could the friggin' logic possibly be? To see how else they can alienate their fan base? What were they THINKING? "Let's give up a blue chip player for two no-name mediocre players that could have been had in the second to third rounds? Wait no, I've got a better idea! Let's also drop 20 picks lower in the second round and throw in our 4th! That ought to pretty much kill any fan base that we have left. I mean, we're basically getting NOTHING here. We let Boston go for nothing so that we can replace him by dropping down to 17 to draft the 43rd ranked player in the draft and then turn around and spend the 18th pick on the 53rd ranked player...some have Pace ranked as the 15th best DE in the draft. FIFTEENTH! Yeah, I'd much rather be doing this than having Boston and Suggs on our team right now. Good plan Graves, way to go!
GRAVES, BIDWILL AND EVERYONE IN OUR FRONT OFFICE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! WORST FRANCHISE IN THE NFL? TRY WORST FRANCHISE IN SPORTS! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
